AFAIK Okular does not have any session management logic integrated. So this is probably caused by the desktop environment.
I don’t know what could cause this or how to debug this. Someone else?
In the meantime, you can try to empty the list of recent documents. In Okular: File -> Open Recent -> Clear List. Or open the file ~/.config/okularrc and remove the entries manually.
> STEPS TO REPRODUCE
> 1. Read a .pdf file (opened via Firefox)
Just a weird idea: If the documents need to be opened via Firefox, maybe you have some startup script like `okular Documents/*`?
> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION > [...] Thanks for the feedback. However, in this bug report it will probably become lost. I think you should send it to a mailing list instead. See: https://kde.org/support/mailinglists/ (In reply to David Hurka from comment #1) > AFAIK Okular does not have any session management logic integrated. Yes it does. main.cpp line 84 and Shell::saveProperties/readProperties I have some more info to add: Seems that other apps may also be effected, giving David Hurka's theory more weight, as the app Persopolis (*a download app) As described in my initial report, showed similar odd behavior: This morning it opened on reboot, and this time I didn't close it which is supposed to just minimize it to the system trey, which it didn't do yesterday, but rather closed altogether and couldn't be launched by any means, after which I opened dolphin only to find many tabs and duplicates of often navigated places, and sluggish behavior, and "running progress indicator popups in separate dolphin I had also closed for sure back the tab bar, which I closed and then closed dolphin itself, to see if it would reoccur on open, which revealed 2 dolphin windows (much smaller than I keep it with never seen before running progress indicators with red slanted stripes and tabs open to persopolis download location tabs referring to the two last downloads I had not yet cleared from Persopolos's interface, for which I would have taken a screen shot of, but it already gave me a heap of trouble last night too, and didn't launch on [PrtScn] to select a portion of the screen, and would only work on [Shift]+[PrtScn] and reported "Whole screen image saved to Default location, which I had set to a sub-folder thereof, but once open It did let me open the advanced interface, and select a portion of the screen, and in trying all kinds of stuff, including resetting it to my lost preferences, but only to flip out in more than one new and odd ways, like not recognizing cursor movement, position and mouse clicks! I have also had the cursor go missing in LibreOffice writer, and wild clicking at random seemed to help it recover, sluggish performance, and one one document was loaded, no aditional documents could be opened after the first when trying to open them from Dolphin, as well as LO writer not launching at all after close, and other strange problems I can't really remember in detail which I didn't suspect were, but now do may be related. So in short: HEEEEEEEEEEEEELP My Linux is having a mental breakdown!!! (<: So I don't think clearing Okular's recent list can fix all that! Hope this can steer someone in the know in the right direction. I would love to use KDE's built in bug reporting facility, to gather all the right logs, but so far it has never worked on Arch for as long as I knew of it's existence, and am lost as to what all to copy or generate copies, let alone which ones to send, or where exactly to find them... but will be glad to if asked, with the details as how to, and of course take note of them for the future. Thanks for any help! By "David Harka's theory", I wasn't talking about Okular, but the DE. |
